World War II Battles

Amber Llewellyn
Amber Llewellyn 11 months ago

My students love to talk about battles, and that is an area that I feel the least confident talking about. While I understand strategy and tactics, I am far from an expert in these areas, and I do not know an American Tank from a Soviet Tank when shown pictures, which makes some of my students very disappointed in me. So my question is, how do you teach about the battles of World War II? Do you go into details or talk about what was important and how many people died?

    Thanks for starting this Amber Llewellyn , I'm almost at WWII for AP World so I've started to think about what I can do this year. Like the others, I don't do a ton to focus on individual battles but I've had students read articles or even research battles they're interested in. I've been to the WWII museum in New Orleans and Pearl Harbor so I've included pictures from both in my notes before which my students enjoy. Thanks for sharing that link Angela Lee I'll definitely take a closer look at some of their resources!
